Here to create and share stories that support good news and good work in Dallas-Fort Worth, in partnership with the Good Foundation.
Dallas Doing Good creates a transformational impact by sharing stories that highlight good news and support meaningful work in our communities. Through interviews with change-makers, volunteer listings, and a robust event calendar, we inspire DFW residents to give back and get involved with local causes.
Our editorial team and Dallas Doing Good Fellows purposefully report on helpers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and solutions across the region, with a focus on collaboration and long-term impact. As part of our commitment to strengthening the local news ecosystem, we partner with organizations like Communities Foundation of Texas and Cornerstone Crossroads Academy to amplify impact storytelling initiatives and provide journalism training for young adults through our fellowship program.
The Dallas Doing Good Fellowship program is designed to equip high school and college-aged students with essential skills in writing, interviewing, and media relations.
Through a structured curriculum, Dallas Doing Good provides participants from historically under-resourced communities with hands-on journalism training and civic awareness, empowering them to become future community leaders.
